- a particle size of 57 nanometers (volume weighted) was measured using a Nicomp particle sizer.
- Submicron dispersions of the appropriate sulfonated polyester resin, for example those prepared above, in distilled deionized water are prepared by first heating the water to about 10° C. to about 15° C. above the glass transition of the sulfonated polyester polymer and then slowly adding the polymer with stirring until it has fully dispersed.

- the above mixture was diluted with 500 milliliters of cold water cooled to room temperature, about 25° C., filtered, washed with about 500 grams of water and dried using a freeze dryer. There were achieved 50 gloss units at a low fusing temperature of about 170° C. when the toner obtained was fused on a Xerox Corporation laboratory fuser similar to the Xerox Corporation 5090 fuser. Thus, this toner was considered a high gloss toner.
- the above mixture was diluted with 500 milliliters of cold water cooled to room temperature, about 25° C., filtered, washed with about 500 grams of water and dried using a freeze dryer. There were achieved 50 gloss units at a low fusing temperature of about 175° C. when the above prepared magenta toner obtained was fused on a Xerox Corporation laboratory fuser similar to the Xerox Corporation 5090 fuser. Thus, this toner was considered a high gloss toner.
- the above mixture was diluted with 500 milliliters of cold water cooled to room temperature, about 25° C., filtered, washed with about 500 grams of water and dried using a freeze dryer. There were achieved 50 gloss units at a low fusing temperature of about 177° C. when the above prepared yellow toner obtained was fused on a Xerox Corporation laboratory fuser similar to the Xerox Corporation 5090 fuser. Thus, this toner was considered a high gloss toner.
- polyester resin B emulsion as prepared above 250 Grams of the polyester resin B emulsion as prepared above were mixed with 5 grams of a REGAL 330® carbon black pigment dispersion (Sun Chemical 40 percent by weight pigment in water) followed by shearing at 3,000 revolutions per minute using a Brinkmann polytron for a duration of about 2 minutes. To this mixture were added with stirring 2.25 grams of the organic complexing agent hexanediamine in about 10 milliliters of water. The resulting mixture was then heated to about 52° C., and stirring was continued for 6.5 hours to result in black toner particles with an average particle size of about 6.4 microns and GSD of 1.18 as measured by the Coulter Counter. The resulting black toner was comprised of about 95 weight percent of the polyester resin and 5 weight percent of the REGAL 330® carbon black.
- the above mixture was diluted with 500 milliliters of cold water cooled to room temperature, about 25° C., filtered, washed with about 500 grams of water and dried using a freeze dryer. There were achieved 50 gloss units at a low fusing temperature of about 180° C. when the above prepared black toner obtained was fused on a Xerox Corporation laboratory fuser similar to the Xerox Corporation 5090 fuser. Thus, this toner was considered a high gloss toner.
